Anderson Cooper Hit With Debris During Hurricane Milton Coverage

As a seasoned journalist with years of reporting under my belt, I deeply admire Anderson Cooper’s courage and dedication to his profession. Despite the potential dangers, he bravely stands at the frontlines, bringing us unfiltered, raw, and essential information during times of crisis. His resilience is truly inspiring.


Anderson Cooper is taking the risk.

During a live broadcast from Brandon, Florida on October 9th, the news anchor for CNN found himself unexpectedly hit by airborne debris while Hurricane Milton made landfall.

As he glanced down, suddenly something big and white swooped into view and whacked his head, since all he had on was a baseball cap. He exclaimed, ‘Not great! I think we’ll be going indoors soon.’

The seasoned reporter found himself right in the heart of the action, as the historic hurricane came ashore as a category three storm, packing winds of up to 120 miles per hour.

A number of spectators voiced worry about Cooper due to the distressing pictures of harsh circumstances shown on CNN.

One user on X (previously known as Twitter) expressed concern, saying “My girlfriend is experiencing a major breakdown because CNN has her beloved person, @andersoncooper, caught in a life-threatening hurricane. A heads up: the video that follows includes Anderson in peril and her using language typically heard on a sailing ship.

To ease their mind, I’d say, “I hope we can move Anderson Cooper back from the railing before the waters become too strong and potentially pose a risk.

According to a FEMA representative, it’s crucial that everyone remains indoors, as reported by CNN. Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper battles through his illness in Florida, with this information presented side-by-side on the screen.

Others noted that Cooper’s presence on the ground in the storm was unnecessary.

A user asked, ‘What’s the point of placing Anderson Cooper on a pier amidst the heart of a hurricane in the ocean?’ It’s akin to exposing delicate china: it provides viewers with an intense, firsthand experience of hurricane force winds at 120mph.

Andy Cohen, Cooper’s longtime friend, responded on Instagram after a viewer suggested they should host New Year’s Eve together. The viewer wrote, “We need @andersoncooper and @bravoandy for NYE. Please get this national treasure under cover.” Cohen agreed with the suggestion by reposting the message and writing simply, “AGREE.
